CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 1.-The chief feature CT
interest on the board of trade to day was the
smallress of deliveries. There was only %, OOC
bushels of wheat going around On morning de-
livery. Cora or provisions were practically
nothing st all. Lightness of this monthly de-
livery was the cause of general comment and
indicated that there were very few open Octo-
Der contracts. Trad ng jumped from October
to December, there being marked disposition
scalper took hold with good deal of viva,
and ESnot outstanding large ssales by
houses said to be operating on foreign
account decided bull!sh tone was developed.
